I'm responsible for me

My eating habits are terrible. I haven't made time for grocery shopping and meal planning in weeks, which usually results in some poor food decisions. We're talking quite a bit of fast food and takeout. Terrible.

My workout routine is broken. Sure, I finished the #1800minutechallenge, but I basically coasted at the end. I should have reached the 1800-minute mark way earlier. I miss getting a good sweat and the ache that comes after really testing my muscles and body.

As a result, my body feels gross and my emotions are a mess. Complete mess. Oh, and clothes that fit me just fine a year ago are getting really snug.

I need to change this.

Sooner rather than later.

On Monday, I am starting a 28-day clean eating challenge. Now, I'm not foolish enough to think there won't be some days when I splurge. (I can already think of a few.) But, I figure even if I have seven splurge days in there, I'll still have 21 clean eating days ... which is way more than I'm doing now.

In addition to eating better, I plan to get back into some better workout habits as well. I mentioned my weekly schedule last week and while I will probably take some rest days, I like having that list to show I had an option for a workout every single day of the week. No excuses. Especially now that the weather is nice. And I have a gym membership for days when the weather isn't so nice.

It's time to get back to taking care of myself. Because no one's going to do it for me.
